One of the longest-ranged kills in history was performed by Carlos Hathcock with a Browning M2, so putting a scope on one doesn't seem totally out of place if you're trying to hit single targets at long-range. That said, Ukraine claimed the #1 spot last year, so I doubt anyones gonna set a new record with a Browning. I'm sure he can try tho!

Ukrainians sure love their Tachankas. May they drive the invaders from their land.

The augmented Carlos Hathcock set up, redesigned with ergonomics in mind.

Not much use if all it does is spin around.
